Died In His CONN.

Paris Letter: A painful incident
which recalls Edgar Poe's thriling
sketch entitled premature Burial" is
reported from Saumur. A young man
who was afflicted with contagious
disease suddenly died, at least to al ap-
pcarancc. and his burial was ordered
to take place rs soon as possible. The
croquemorts, or undertaker's men, who
carried the coffin to the grave. thought
that they heard noise like knocking
under its lid, yet, being afraid Of Great
ing panic among the people who at-
tended the funeral, they went on with
their burden. The coffin was duly
placed in the grave, but as the earth
was being thrown upon it, unmistakablc
sounds Of knocking were heard by
everybody. The Mayor. however. had
to be sent for before the coffin could be
opened. and some delay occurred in
the arrival Of that official. When the
lid was removed the horrible discovery
was made that the unfortunate inmate
had only just died from asphyxia. The
terrible French law requiring speedy
intermcnt ought to be modified without
delay.

it gold. He then knocked off more
chips from the rocks, and hunted in the
ashes for more Of the shining particles,

Ata:3 a. M, an the 5th, an accident oc-
Cured on the Central Vermont railroad at
the bridge which crosses the White river in
the town Of Hartford four miles from White
River junction, Vt Two passenger coaches
and two sleepers having some eighty pas
sen.ers in all, mostly bound for Montreal to
witness the Ice carnival there, were hurled
from the abutment Of the bridge down
rugged, rocky gorge, 70 feet, striking with
horrifying crash upon the ice-bound river
ut the bottom. The train, which consisted
Of the engine, baggage car and postal car
in addition to the four passenger coaches
when 3U yards from the bridge and run
ming about 10 miles a hour, was thrown
from the track by broken rail or, perhaps
a broken wheel. The engine, baggage and
postal cars passed over the bridge without
leaving the road bed. but the postal cars
with the passengers ON reaching the abut-
ment toppled over into the deathly chasm
1t is supposed that no less than 40 of the
passengers were killed outright, and as the
cars instantly took tire some 20 more were
burned to death being unable to extricate
themselves from that peril. In one car hav-
ing twenty passengers only u boy escaped
with his life and his unfortunate father was
burned before his eyes, the combined efforts
